Chapter 23: Career Scores
"The ability of this Chinese is simply beyond imagination......" ** Vicky saw the situation of the game, and suddenly almost got out of his control, and suddenly, a trace of indescribable thought faintly rose in his heart.
"I was going to keep him under better defence, but I didn't expect Chris Paul to find a gap." Vicky pondered: "The situation right now is that putting defense on him or Chris is not good news for the Spurs. ”
……
Yes, although it is said that offense wins fans, defense wins championships. However, in the end, basketball is still about the score. Even if he is an outside player, when he reaches a terrifying shooting percentage like Jongwook, it becomes a nightmare for his opponents.
He became a scoring point for an opponent who had to calm down and deal with it.
Today's Zhong Yu, for his opponent, is a thorn in the flesh, which is quite difficult to solve.
Scott naturally knows this, although Zhong Yu's shooting rate in the fourth quarter is not as good as 100%. However, at least in this game, the backcourt combination of Zhong Yu and Paul was able to defeat many teams in the league.
"This time, our team did pick up a treasure." Scott nodded slightly, as a second-round pick, Zhong Yu has been on the fringes of the team before, however, this game is different.
At this moment, on the basketball court, Bruce Bowen and Ginobili had a change of defense because of Paul's breakthrough. So, now it's Bruce Bowen who is defending Zhongyu.
Zhong Yu had also heard a lot of rumors about Bowen before, and knew that this person was quite murderous. This time it's up to him to defend himself.
Bowen didn't say a word, he was as silent as most of the players on this team, but his eyes were staring at Zhong Yu very intently. There was no pity or mercy in his eyes, nor the infinite vitality in the eyes of most people, but instead there was a calmness that seemed to make all the movements unconcealed.
Zhong Yu's position at the moment is outside the three-point line, which is not an area where he is focused and sure.
So, he controlled the ball and planned to go further inside, but Bowen's defense was quite timely, so Zhong Yu had to put away the basketball and use his body to break through.
But at this moment, Bowen had already gained a firm foothold, and saw that Zhong Yu was about to be made an offensive foul.
Zhong Yu's second step didn't keep up, and he barely had much time to ponder in his heart before he made the firmest judgment - shooting!
Jongwook propped up his body with his first foot in that area, and then jumped straight to the shot.
"This kind of jumper...... I guess I'm not sure. Bowen made this decision in his heart, and did not fully make his own judgment, and his body jumped, but it was not enough for Zhong Yu's jump shot.
Zhong Yu faced Bowen, which touched the hearts of many fans, after all, Bowen is notorious. However, Jongwook didn't seem to have any surprises, but a direct jump shot.
"Huh!" The basketball actually went into the net!
In this game, Zhong Yu shot 13 times, hit 10 times, and scored 20 points!
The highest score of his career so far, set in this game.
Whether a player can score 20 points in the NBA or not, there will be some differences in the evaluation of a person. Today, Zhong Yu finally scored 20 points and got the third highest score in the team. (Paul 26 points, West 21 points).
As a second-round show, such a rise is actually not simple.
Bowen was a little annoyed, but he couldn't help it, when a player really made the basket like the sea, it was almost unstoppable.
Another offense began, this time, Paul broke through the inside again, and then passed the basketball out, so the basketball came to Zhong Yu's hands.
Zhong Yu made a jump shot, but unfortunately this time it was off the mark.
"There are still two points left to be able to open the so-called stacking skill, but I don't know what this stacking skill is." Zhong Yu pondered in his heart, looking forward to the next opportunity.
He just missed a jumper, and the rebound was snatched by boxing champion Chandler, and the pass was passed to West to hit a shot.
There are still two minutes left on the clock, but the Hornets have overtaken the Spurs.
Now that Jongwook is performing quite well, Peterson naturally has no reason to object to Jongwook staying on the court. However, he looked at Zhong Yu's eyes and his eyes flickered, and he knew that Zhong Yu had formed a threat to his status.
It's just that he is also older and has less playing time, which doesn't affect him too much. It's not yet time for him to desperately earn himself a big contract.
The Spurs weren't in a hurry, they were still steady, and with 42 seconds left in the final quarter, the Spurs trailed by three points.
It's still a bit dangerous for the Hornets at this time.
What makes everyone a little puzzled is that even at this most critical moment, Scott did not ask Zhong Yu to end.
Now it happens to be the ball of the Hornets, and a ball that is crucial to the Hornets is in Paul's hands. Paul had the ball past half court and he started to break through, the kind of key ball he intended to take into his own hands......
Paul broke through...... He started to go to the basket against a couple of huge inside shots -- wait, no, what about his basketball?
To everyone's surprise, they found the orange-red basketball, which was in Zhong Yu's hands...... Seventeen feet away, he made a slow jump shot, and he jumped to meet everyone's strange gaze......
"Huh!" Like the deadliest sword, it stabbed into the chest of the Spurs at once.
At the critical moment, Zhong Yu hit a jumper, and in this game, he has already scored 22 points!
Amid the cheers of the fans, Zhong Yu felt that he was immersed in the idea of the wedge sign, and a thought came out - he could already unlock the restriction and achieve the skill stacking in the first area!
"Skill stacking in the first area, what exactly is it?" Jongwook originally wanted to study it in detail, however, time waits for no one, and now with the last 28 seconds left, the Spurs are five points behind, and they plan to play a three-pointer.
As a result, the transition between attack and defense was quite fast, and Zhong Yu didn't have time to take a closer look at what that skill stack was, but followed everyone through the half, and he couldn't let Ginobili perform this task.
Thankfully, the Spurs were restrained by the bravery that the Hornets showed at all times, and Roger Mason, who executed the three-pointer, failed to live up to everyone's expectations and missed the basket.
In this way, the Hornets win against the Spurs, as long as there are no mistakes, there will be no suspense.
